"Sustainability has become a very defining leadership competency for our students going forward. We've made a commitment that every single one of our students, every single one will go out with sustainability embedded into their DNA."

Goal 4: Excel Organizationally

In five years: We identify the means by which value is created, codify it in an operational plan that demonstrates value at the individual, institutional, and global scales, and continually refine it through testing, assessment, and learning. It becomes a model for large institutions of higher learning.

In two years: We lay a strong foundation for the Institute by designing and implementing: 1) a structure that serves our work with defined roles and responsibilities for all of our members, 2) long-term financial and intellectual resourcing strategies, including the use of physical assets, 3) strong partnerships with internal and external advisory boards that leverage their added expertise, and 4) decision-making criteria for projects and initiatives that effectively focuses our efforts.
